The TSW Blog

A new maintenance release of TSW SiteSync has just been released. The main reason for this update is compatibility with the very-soon-to-be-released final version of TSW WebCoder 2013, but I decided to make some minor improvements as well, while I was at it. So, besides being better at communicating with the latest version of WebCoder, this release brings almost ten minor improvements and additions to SiteSync.

Since this is just a maintenance release, your license of course covers this upgrade if you have already purchased SiteSync. Just download the latest version at the SiteSync website and install it on top of the old one, and you should be good to go.

Enjoy!

December is upon us and the countdown to Christmas eve has started. Hopefully you have already secured yourself a lovely WebCoder 2010 license to keep your code warm in this traditionally cold month, but if not, Santa Claus has a real treat for the good web coders out there. For the entire month of December, you can purchase WebCoder with a 25% discount, by using the discount code "Santa". This means that you can get the Professional edition of WebCoder for a mere $74.99 (normally $99.99), or in case you only need the Light edition, only $37.49 (normally $49.99). Your best option is of course the WebCoder 2010 Professional edition + SiteSync bundle, which you can now get for less than $100!

To buy WebCoder 2010 with this Christmas discount, please use the discount code "Santa" on the ordering page, or simply click this direct link, which will be valid for the rest of this year:

In case you have already purchased a license, perhaps you have a friend or a relative who would appreciate the Christmas gift of a powerful IDE, or at least the chance to purchase one with a discount? Help me spread the word, so that as many people as possible can take advantage of this offer. Send them a link to this blog post or ask them to "Like" our Facebook page, where offers like this is also posted. Thank you, and have a happy December :)

It's with great pleasure that I bring you an updated version of TSW SiteSync, and to mark this update, SiteSync has now got its very own website, just like WebCoder got with the release of version 2010. While this new release mostly brings minor enhancements, it has lots of them! In fact, my TODO list shows a total of 25 items which has been fixed, in order to make SiteSync an even better application. If you haven't already tried SiteSync, now is definitely the time to do it. Move on over to tswsitesync.com and have a look at the new website and download the free trial. Existing customers should do the same - your current key will work with this update, so just install it on top of your existing installation. Enjoy!

I'm pleased to announced the second maintenance release of TSW SiteSync 2. It comes with the following changes:

• An exclusion rule could in very specific conditions be ignored.
• Accelerator keys were added to toolbar buttons with text in the application.
• Enter and Backspace were added as shortcuts in the FTP Client. Enter will open a folder or edit a file, and backspace will go one level up, just like in Windows Explorer.
• In Watch mode, a timeout was not always detected, resulting in SiteSync trying to transfer the files with a broken connection.
• The Passive mode setting were sometimes not saved for a site.

To upgrade, simply go to the SiteSync product page and download the application. Install it on top of the previous version, that should cause no problems. If you have any questions or comments, please contact us.

I'm pleased to announce a maintenance release of TSW SiteSync, SiteSync 2.01. This release fixes a couple of minor problems, mostly related to the FTP client. If you've had any problems with SiteSync, please install the new version.

To upgrade, simply go to the SiteSync product page and download the application. Install it on top of the previous version, that should cause no problems. If you have any questions or comments, please contact us.

I'm very happy to announce that the final version of TSW SiteSync 2.0 has just been released. You can download it from the SiteSync product page, where you can also find all the usual cool screenshots and a complete feature list. As promised, this is a free upgrade for all those of you who have purchased the first version of SiteSync. You can simply install version 2 and it will use the same license key as version 1. Have a look at this blog post for more information on all the new things in SiteSync 2.0.

I wish to thank the betatesters for their effort. Especially Mobleman and iosoftgame, who I would like to offer a free license to either WebCoder or phpCoder together with SiteSync 2.0, for their extensive help in testing this release. amews_aj gets a free SiteSync 2.0 license for doing such a nice Danish translation - I hope all of you will help localize SiteSync into other languages :)

Enjoy SiteSync 2.0 :)

The first final beta release of SiteSync 2.0 now comes with real documentation. Any feedback on this is appreciated as well :). The amount of bugs discovered in the last couple of versions has been pretty minimal, so I have focused a lot on improving the localization process, in preparation of implementing in it phpCoder 2008 next. The localization editor has been improved, SiteSync should now make all of it's controls available for translation, and a new localization area at tswusers.net has been prepared. I hope that you will all share your localization work as much as possible. Also, a new menu item in SiteSync makes it possible to easily browse and download language files. If there are any problems with all the new stuff I've added, then be sure to let me know. I would like to mention once again, that new language files will be rewarded with a free TSW SiteSync commercial license.

As mentioned in the first beta post, free licenses will be given to the best betatesters for either TSW WebCoder 2007 or TSW phpCoder 2008 as well as SiteSync 2.0, once the final version has been released.

Please be aware that this is beta software. It's meant for testing only, and if you don't feel comfortable using software with known bugs and quirks, you should wait for the final version.

During the last couple of weeks, I have been working on implementing localization in SiteSync 2.0. I built the localization system from scratch, so it fits the TSW applications the best, and may later be implemented in TSW phpCoder and TSW WebCoder. This means that SiteSync can be easily translated into other languages, and I hope that you will all help me by doing just that. This whole localization thing is still very much beta, but I have tested it quite a bit, and it should be stable enough for you to do the same. Once SiteSync goes into final, I will be happy to give away free licenses in exchange for proper language files, so this is your chance to get a head start on it :)

First of all, you need the latest beta version of SiteSync from the link below. Besides the new localization system, it includes a range of bug fixes, found in beta 2. You also need the new TSW Localization Editor, which can be found below as well. The editor includes a README file which explains how to localize the application. To test it, SiteSync 2.0 beta 3 comes with a new Settings button in the main interface, which lets you change the language. It simply lists the files found in the new "languages" folder, so please put your test language file in there. Right now, it's all very simple - you can change the language, but only for the current session. The next time you start SiteSync, the language will be English, but you can't change back to the default language in the middle of a session. This will all be a bit more polished for the final version, but it will do for testing purposes :)

As mentioned, the localization part is still very much beta, so feel free to suggest improvements to the Localization Editor and the localization process as well.

Beta 2 is here, and I'm pleased to tell you that we have already fixed quite a list of issues. This release offers both bugfixes and improvements, pretty much all over the application. Have a look in the beta forum, if you're curious about what has changed. Keep up the good work, guys :)

I'm very proud to announce the first beta version of the upcoming TSW SiteSync 2.0. As mentioned in a previous blog post, this version includes a big number of changes. A lot of the very important parts of the application has been re-written, to support SFTP and FTPS as well as regular FTP, and to gain a more responsive interface. This means that we need a thorough betatesting, which is why I would like to promise a number of free commercial licenses to the best betatesters of SiteSync 2.0. Since WebCoder/phpCoder and SiteSync are such fine partners, the free licenses will cover either TSW WebCoder 2007 or TSW phpCoder 2008 as well as SiteSync 2.0.

I'm really looking forward to hearing what you think of it! This is the first version, so besides finding bugs, be sure to look for things that you would like to see implemented before the final version - I'm open for suggestions :)
